Unit Load Devices are high-value, mobile assets that circulate constantly between airports, aircraft, warehouses, and ground handling facilities. Without accurate visibility, ULDs can be misplaced, left idle for long periods, or lost across handover points.
Foresolutions supplies an airline-certified ULD tracking device designed for long-life operation in global aviation environments. The device provides reliable location data across both airside and landside operations, supporting better asset control and utilisation.
Global ULD location tracking, indoors and outdoors
ULDs regularly move between outdoor aprons and indoor terminals. The tracker uses multiple positioning technologies to maintain visibility across both environments:
- GNSS for high-accuracy outdoor positioning
- Wi-Fi access point scanning for indoor location without connecting to networks
- Cell tower location fallback when satellite signals are unavailable
Long-life tracking for large ULD fleets
ULD tracking devices must operate for years without intervention. The tracker is designed as a deploy-once solution, with:
- Over eight years battery life with once-daily updates
- Adaptive tracking that increases reporting during movement
- Sleep mode when ULDs are stationary
- User-replaceable AA lithium batteries
Built for harsh aviation handling conditions
Certified for air cargo use, the solution is engineered to operate safely within aircraft holds, with intelligent sensing that prevents transmission while in flight. This enables continuous visibility across ground operations without compromising airline or aviation compliance.
Designed to withstand demanding handling environments, it features a rugged, waterproof housing and internal antennas. This makes it suitable for long-term deployment on containers and pallets exposed to impact, vibration, and varying weather conditions.
